MANTLE-TYING MAOHINE..

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL Conn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Mantle-Tying Machines, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a tying device which is an improvement over the one shown and described in my co pending application, Serial Number 427,164, filed, April 15, 1908.

This object is accomplished by my invention, as will appear below.

For a more particular description of my invention, reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, in which Figure 1 is a sectional view of my improved device. Fig. 2, is a side elevation of the principal portion with a mantle thereon and a drawing string. Fig. 3, is a plan view of the structure shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a side elevation. showing the structure just has been drawn tight and tied. Fig. 5 shows the structure of Fig. 4, in plan with the cap removed.

Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the apparatus with the webbing in the position it occupies just prior to the removal of the ring and webbing. Fig. 7 is a plan view showing how the ring is held in position. Fig. 8 is a sec tional view on the line of 88 of Fig. 7 looking in the direction of the arrows, the ring being shown in dotted lines.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar reference characters designate similar parts.

My improved tying device 1 consists of a base 2, secured to a standard or spindle 3 by means of a pin 4, and a set screw 5, the inner end of which extends into an annular groove 6 formed in the pin 4 so that said standard turns freely on said base, but has no other movement thereon relative thereto. The upper end of the standard or spindle 3, is

surmounted by a cap 7 which is made substantially in the form shown and is provided with a central bore 8, which receives and fits a pin 9 integral with the standard 3 and which has its axis concentric with the axis of said standard. The lower end of the cap 7 is also provided with a recess 10 which is annular in form and extends to near the Specification of Letters Patent.

, outer surface of the cap and is concentric with the bore 8.

The upper end of standard or spindle 3 is standard 3, and surrounding the pin 9 and concentric therewith, is an annular recess which has in its bottom certain recesses 13 which have pins 14 projecting therein sub stantially as shown in Figs. 7 and 8. Screws 15 are placed midway between the recesses 13 and 011 the bottom of the annular recess 12. These screws 15 are adjusted so that magnesium ring 16 will be held in proper position when the apparatus is in use.

The operation of my device is as follows: A magnesium ring 16, of the conventional form, is placed in the annular recess 12 surrounding the pin 9 with its feet 17 projecting into the recesses 13 where it is held while the spindle or standard 3 is turned on its swivel about the pin 4 until the feet 17 are under the pins 14 the cap 7 is then put in place and a webbing 18 of a mantle is then placed in position as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. A string is then placed as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 and its position is easily determined because of the enlarged end 11 of the standard or spindle 3, which is larger than the bottom of the cap 7. The string 19 is then drawn tight and tied thereby forcing the webbing 18 inwardly until it is evenly distributed about the ring 16 and securely held against the same by the cord 19 which then has its ends trimmed. The cap 7 is provided with annular grooves 20 which show the exact position a mantle should occupy on the apparatus, the location of its grooves being varied to suit the kind and size of mantle tied thereon. The cap 7 is then removed. The lower end of the webbing is then brought upwardly to the position shown in Fig. 6 where it is above the annular groove 12 where it is held while the spindle is twisted so as to disengage the pins 14 from the feet 17. When this has been done the mantle and its ring may be removed from the apparatus and are then ready for the next stage of manufacture. As this next stage is no part of my invention, further description is unnecessary.

It is obvious that if for any reason the standard 3 should become fixed to its base 2, the apparatus could still be used, with some inconvenience, by turning the ring 16, so as to engage or disengage the pins 14.

slightly enlarged at 11 and at the top of this Various other modifications of my invention may be made all of which come Within its scope.

W hat I claim is,

1. In a device of the class described, a spindle, a cap, and means for holding a ring between them, said spindle being provided with an enlarged end. adjacent to said cap whereby the location of the tying string may be determined.

2. In a device of the class described, a base, a spindle pivotally mounted thereon, a cap and means for holding a ring between said cap and spindle.

3. In a devlce of the class described, -a base, a spindle pivotally mounted thereon, a cap and means for holding a ring between said cap and spindle, so that said ring is held against vertical movement.

4. In a device of the class described, a

spindle, a cap and means for holding a ring between said spindle and cap so that said ring is held so as to prevent its movement in the direction of its axis so that a mantle placed on said spindle may be secured to the same by means of a string passing between said spindle and cap when drawn tight.
